What does the reopening of the Hillary probe actually mean?

You should know that it is grossly unfair to criticize Comey for granting qualified "immunity" deals to several of Hillary's closest staff.  All such arrangements come from the Department of Justice.  

Further,  it is unfair to criticize the Director for not setting up a Grand Jury.  Again,  such a decision is made by the DOJ,  and only by the DOJ.  

These two considerations (above) are solely the work of the Obama Administration.  It was Obama, by rite of his position  (he is the boss) that prevented a Grand Jury or the allowing for the offer of immunity.  

With these corrections in mind,  I believe it is significant that Comey made his announcement,  yesterday,  in disregard to DOJ pressure to forgo the announcement.  In doing so,  he is implicitly making the statement that the FBI's ability to investigate anyone at any time,  is a sovereign responsibility.  This "sovereignty" is enhanced by the fact that the FBI Director's position is a 10 year appointment.  He is not the servant of any Administration.  Yesterday,  Comey asserted that sense of independence.  And, Hillary is forced to answer for her crimes.
